Bryan was coloring using his magic ink set and look what he did to Dylan!
He decided that Dylan need some coloring as well!
Luckily daddy caught him as soon as he started “coloring” Dylan. Otherwise, donno how Dylan will look like. Sommo this is magic ink on the face. It is not easy to get it out without using soap. I was washing dishes in the kitchen at that time.
I heard daddy scolding Bryan.
Daddy: Look what you did to Dylan! I draw on your face also.
Bryan: No, no. Don’t want already
Daddy: Draw your face, let you go to school and let your friends laugh at you.
Bryan. No, no, I don’t want already.
Daddy: You see Di-di’s face. Not handsome already.
Bryan: Not handsome already lo. Must give to Kor-kor (daddy’s sister) liao lo.
You see la this Ger-ger. Draw the Di-di’s face and then now want to give him away sommo coz he is “not handsome” anymore. We always joked that kor-kor loves didi very much and if he doesn’t treat his didi well, then kor-kor will come to take didi away. Bryan would always cry and say no when we threaten that kor-kor will come.
For the record, Bryan also drew all over his body and hands…especially his hands. He kept running to me in the kitchen and showed me how dirty his hands were and that he NEED to wash his hands liao. You think he really want to wash hand meh? He wants to play water ah!
Mon & Tues: MC
Bryan stayed home with my parents as he was not feeling well.
Wed: Back to school.
His teacher told me that when he is not around, all the teachers missed him. I think there are about 5 teachers that spend more time with him. 3 are his morning school session teachers who work half day only. 2 are full day teachers who also takes care of him in the afternoon. His favorite is teacher Stella, who is actually the year 4 teacher.
Stella & the other full day teacher Vivian told me on Wednesday that having him around makes time flies. Though he is very mischievous, he has a way of getting to the teachers’ heart. They told me that almost all of them will notice that Bryan is absent if he is not in by 9:30am or so. Where else for the other kids, sometimes they don’t even realize that they were not in yet until they took attendance later on.
They added that they missed him when he is not around, but when he is around; he drives them crazy (sometimes).
Thurs: Punished
What happened? He bit a school mate and scratched another one until got scratch marks. Luckily it is not on the face. This had happened before, and when it happens, they made him sit in the “naughty chair” for 10-15 mins.
But this time, he really hurt the school mate. So to drive the message in that he cannot hit/ bite his friends, they are making him sit in the “naughty chair” for a WEEK during play time. He is not allowed to play. He must sit next to a teacher at all time. If he tries to run away from that chair, the teacher will hold him down.
When I arrived yesterday, I saw him sitting at the back of the class. But teacher Stella was next to him marking homework. He was playing with some toys in his hand but it was obvious that he was separated from his friends.
He started crying when he saw me. Before that, no cry. Why cry? Show his pity punished face to me la!
Teacher Stella later asked me if I am ok with the punishment, bcoz some parents do not like it. I replied that when ever he is at school, it is the school’s responsibility to take care of him and that includes disciplining him as well. So of coz I am ok with it. Hopefully he learns from the punishment and not hurt his friends anymore.
With a new baby in the house, Bryan decided he wants to be a baby too.
Bryan never like the bouncer when he was a baby. But when we took out the old bouncer for Dylan, needless to say, big bro decided that he wants it and it was a lot of fun bouncing around in it. When we put Dylan in it, Bryan wants to bounce it too, real hard. So the only time Dylan gets to laze around in it is when Bryan is in ZZZ land.
I just know now that I will have the same problem with the stroller soon. And Bryan never like the stroller last time too…
We have a small mini compo on top of Bryan’s cabinet in his room. Almost every night, Bryan will ask his daddy to let him sit on the cabinet and press the buttons on the mini compo. He loves to open and close the compo’s cassette tape cover.
He never asked me cause when he does, I’ll tell him I have no energy to put him up there *ok I lied*
So he always bug hubb and hubb is usually very reluctant to let Bryan. So Bryan will have to beg his daddy
Bryan: Press press *points towards the compo*
Hubb: *Ignore Bryan*
Bryan: Daddy, press pleaassseee, pleaassseee
Hubb: what? Don’t want la.
Bryan: Please please….
Hubb: *still ignoring Bryan*
Bryan: *realizing his pleas are not working* Daddy please, pressss….. *leans over, gives daddy hugs and kisses*
Hubb: *heart melts* Ok Ok la
I have been constantly reading Harry Potter books since I got back from the States. Finally, I managed to finish the last Potter – The Deathly Hallow, last Saturday.
Bryan, obviously intrigued by the book that I am always reading, have taken a liking to Harry Potter as well.
Last Sunday morning, the book was lying on the couch. As I had finished reading and furthermore it is a hard cover book, I let him played with it. Hubb was watching TV in the living room with Bryan while I was in the bedroom.
Suddenly, i heard hubb say loudly,… “Whei, look what your son did….!” I rushed out quickly and I found this….
Bryan had been quite a handful to care the last few days, especially when either hubb or I is alone with him.
Hubb’s experience
The last few days, i have been leaving the house for office at around 630-700am for early teleconference calls. So hubb had to care of Bryan after I left and to send Bryan to my mother’s house. What happen?
#1: Bryan insisted on stirring and messing up hubb’s oatmeal. When hubb refused, Bryan threw tantrum and cried (really cried) loudly.
#2: Insisted that hubb open the fridge for him to play. When hubb ignored him, Bryan threw a fit.
#3: Wanted to play with a CD inside the cabinet. Hubb ignored him at first, then Bryan cried loudly. So hubb took out the CD for him to play. The CD is contained in a paper envelope. When Bryan had his hands on it, he tore the paper envelope in anger.
My experience
Hubb had dinner with his colleagues on Wed night, and I took care of Bryan alone. I showered at my mom’s place before i got home.
Before I tuck Bryan to bed, i wanted to wash my face and I let Bryan into the bathroom with me so that I can keep an eye on him.
Bryan started to play with the toilet seat cover…lift and then slammed it shut, repeat and repeat again. Then he discovered the flush handle and started flushing the toilet.
After I am done washing the face, I practically had to drag him out of the bathroom. Close the bathroom door and switch off the lights. No prize for guessing what is Bryan’s reaction when I did that. *roll eyes*
In addition, it was really hard to get him to bed the last few days. Usually, he will fall asleep by 10pm or so. But it was taking up to 11 or 1130pm the last few nights.
Some of my moomie friends say that this is the beginning of the terrible twos? So soon….?
We had dinner at the Chicken Rice Shop yesternight. Mid way through dinner, Bryan was got irritated. Then his mood improved again when one of the waitress started playing with him and she later brought him a balloon.
After dinner, we went shopping at Bryan’s favourite place – Tesco. After pushing him around for about 10 minutes, he said “Ng Ng” to hubb and started pulling at his pants.
We checked his diaper and he had poo-ed in it. It must have been during dinner at CRS, but he only told us now when he got uncomfortable.
Today for breaksfast, we went to the food court at Weld Quay for the famous nasi lemak and the beef koay teow soup. Bryan had some of the koay teow, though he already had his breakfast of 6 Oz milk and a banana. Again, half way through his meal, he got irritated. We thought it was because of the pepper in the koay teow soup.
When we were trying to buckle him up in his car seat later, he refused to let us and said, “Ng Ng”
No prize for guessing what we found in his diaper when we checked. So we changed him at blazing hot car park, trying to get some shade by our car. Luckily, i brought the Drypers Drypants or it would be a nightmare trying to get Bryan into his diapers.
